    Speeding tickets are killer on CSA score but if those other companies know about them and said yes that is where you'll probably be happier. Schneider has nice dedicated stuff. Martin is a decent company.

    Trans Am pays company drivers $0.30 a mile. They pay practical miles.

    I got written up by the same cop in the same place two weeks apart! Second time I was going a little slower so I only got a warning.

    Haha that's awesome i think personal tickets shouldn't count unless it's a dui or something major and also think u should be allowed to drive 14 to 16 hours a day the regulations are messed up I like elogs cause it's easier but I like paper cause I can go further

    I personally think a ticket should count against you, even in your pov. I like the regs. They have to give you that ten hours off no matter what. Eleven hours is plenty to drive. I really prefer to drive just eight or nine hours per day. If you can keep your total hours per day under eight or nine you never have to worry about running out of hours.

    The worst-hit area will likely be the Texas Panhandle, where a crippling blizzard will produce 6 to 19 inches of snow with locally higher amounts. Snow drifts could reach several feet high as winds gust in excess of 50 mph, leading to whiteout conditions.

    That is some nasty weather. It is supposed to be 75 here tomorrow. I'm loving this warm weather.

    Second chance company? Drivers with an accident? Just wondering. Looking for a second chance company and I keep hearing try TransAm but I don't know.
